SECAM uses FM modlulation for the chroma subcarriers (which was BTW giving us a lot of PITA back in the days), while the others use AM next to phase. What France used for broadcasting TV audio is beyond me but outside of France audio was F3E (aka FM) transmitted, either 6.5 or 5.5 MHz to the side of the video. > This is it. Terrestrial broadcasting has been system B/G/D/K/I for most of Europe (old systems aside), which is negative modulation for video and FM for audio. But not France (and probably Luxemburg), that used system L, ie. positive modulation for video and AM sound. Bottom line, that also naturally means that TV sets produced in the Eastern bloc back in the days, wouldn't have been compatible with French broadcasting and vice versa, even though they're both popularly known as "SECAM" devices.
